Becoming an adult attachment-focused therapist
Presented by SickKids CCMH Learning Institute
Date: February 2, 2023
Time: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET
Facilitator: Annette Kussin, MSW, RSW, RMFT
Description:
The theory of attachment clearly describes attachment as a lifelong phenomenon. For adults, early attachment experiences continue to impact adult relationships and self-perception. Yet most therapy for adults has not incorporated an understanding of attachment nor based therapeutic interventions on attachment principles.
This training will present a model of therapy that will shift your theoretical framework to that of attachment-focused therapy. As the therapist, you will develop awareness of your own attachment style and its importance in the reparative process of therapy.
Learning objectives:
- Recognize adult attachment categories
- Assess adult attachment using patterns of behaviour and a modified form of the adult attachment interview
- Use attachment as a paradigm for understanding mental health diagnoses
- Recognize the adult brain and attachment
- Use the model of attachment-focused therapy for adults
- Make attachment the paradigm for therapeutic change
Registration includes a copy of Annette Kussin’s book: It’s Attachment: A New Way of Understanding Yourself and Your Relationships.
Registration fee: General - $270 | Student - $243
